Virginia Woolf was undoubtedly one of the literary giants of the twentieth
century. She was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, and her writings
were works of astonishing originality.

Nigel Nicolson is the son of Vita Sackville-West, who was Virginia Woolf's
most intimate friend, and for a short time her lover. He spent many days in
her company and he has threaded his recollections of her throughout this
